Can Non-Contrast 3T MRI scans predict the type of labral procedure in hip arthroscopy?

Purpose: The study proposed a simple classification system that aimed at predicting the labral procedure during hip arthroscopy using images from unenhanced 3T MRI scans.

Patents And Methods: Forty patients undergoing hip arthroscopy had their MRI scans reviewed pre-operatively by one of two senior radiologists and classified into: type 1: stable labrum with intra-substance degeneration (no labral repair required), type 2: unstable labrum, no intra-substance degeneration (labral repair required), or type 3: unstable labrum with intra-substance degeneration (Labral repair not feasible). Hip arthroscopy is carried out by one of two surgeons and classified accordingly while blinded to the radiologists' assessment.

Comparison of early outcomes of arthroscopic labral repair or debridement : a study using the UK Non-Arthroplasty Hip Registry dataset.

Aims: This study uses prospective registry data to compare early patient outcomes following arthroscopic repair or debridement of the acetabular labrum.

Methods: Data on adult patients who underwent arthroscopic labral debridement or repair between 1 January 2012 and 31 July 2019 were extracted from the UK Non-Arthroplasty Hip Registry. Patients who underwent microfracture, osteophyte excision, or a concurrent extra-articular procedure were excluded.

Impact of active patient follow-up on worst-case implant survival analysis.

Background: Patients lost to follow-up pose problems when performing implant survival analysis. We are unaware of any report detailing how implant survival is affected by the sequential capture of patients.


Aims: To assess the logistics of long-term follow-up of patients undergoing Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR), and to determine what impact this had on implant survival with time.

Femoral neck fracture after Birmingham Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty: prevalence, time to fracture, and outcome after revision.

A consecutive cohort of 3076 Birmingham Hip Resurfacings from a single institution was analyzed. The prevalence of femoral neck fracture, the time to fracture, and the outcome after revision were investigated. Fractures occurred in 34 hips (prevalence, 1.

The influence of head size and sex on the outcome of Birmingham hip resurfacing.

Background: Hip resurfacing has gained popularity for the treatment of young and active patients who have arthritis. Recent literature has demonstrated an increased rate of revision among female patients as compared with male patients who have undergone hip resurfacing. The aim of the present study was to identify any differences in survival or functional outcome between male and female patients with osteoarthritis who were managed with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing.

The influence of surgical approach on outcome in Birmingham hip resurfacing.

Unlabelled: Various approaches have been described for metal-on-metal hip resurfacing. We compared the posterolateral and direct lateral approaches for complications, pain, function, and implant survival in the short and medium term for two surgeons in a consecutive series of 790 patients (909 hips; July 1997 to July 2004) followed until July 2007. The direct lateral approach group included 135 resurfacing procedures and the posterolateral group included 774 procedures.

Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing in osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Background: The treatment of end-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head remains a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. Historically, total hip arthroplasty for this condition has been associated with poor rates of survival and function when compared with total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to determine the medium-term clinical and radiographic results of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty in patients with end-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
